Before she started to speak, Mother Yan winked at Yan Ziyuan and asked him to take his wife upstairs.
Song Fuyu also understood what Yan's mother meant, and without waiting for him to speak, he pulled him back to the room.
"Father-in-law, do you have any idea about the betrothal gift?"
"Fu Yu and I don't care much about these. It mainly depends on what our in-laws think."
He and Fu Yu had discussed this issue before, and did not have any strong requirements for the betrothal gift, leaving it to the Yan family to make the decision.
Fu Yu told him that when she came for the first time, the Yan family prepared a gift for her, and Yan's mother even gave her a red envelope of eighty yuan.
Just the gift for meeting someone is much higher than the betrothal gift of many families. I am sure that the betrothal gift must be much more.
"We gave 1,001 yuan to each of our three daughters-in-law before, so we hope to maintain the same standard this time."
In the opinion of Yan's mother, the first way to maintain harmonious relationships among the sisters-in-law is that they, as parents-in-law, must not be biased towards anyone.
If they show favoritism towards one of them, the relationship between the sisters-in-law will become difficult.
"Okay, I have no objection."
Chen Guoxing also didn't want them to make an exception for Fu Yu. After all, she was marrying into a large family and would have to get along with several sisters-in-law in the future.
"Fu Yu and Zi Yuan will live in Lu City after marriage, so it's inconvenient to move things around. So Zi Yuan's father and I want to convert the three turns, one ring and two sets of clothes that we originally prepared for her into money, and then add them to the betrothal gift to make an auspicious number, 1,666."
Chen Guoxing was very satisfied with this.
He had never paid much attention to the bride price in Heng City before, so he specifically asked Li Cuiping before coming.
According to her, they also have the custom of giving a bride price in Heng City, which can be a few yuan, dozens, or even hundreds, but the highest is usually no more than two hundred yuan.
Only a few families would be able to get together the three turns and one ring. After all, all of these would cost several hundred dollars, and tickets are required. For most families, it is not easy to buy all of them.
"Okay, let's do as my mother-in-law says."
"I don't have anything I can give Fu Yu as a dowry. I, a grown man, don't really know what's needed for a marriage. As the woman's side, I won't put a single cent of the betrothal gift into my own pocket. I'll give it all to Fu Yu. I'll also give the young couple 1,000 yuan as a settlement allowance so they can buy what they need."
He had already made up his mind before he came that no matter how much money the Yan family gave as a dowry, he would pay a little less than them.
Although his money will definitely be left to his daughter in the future, at this time, he still has to consider the man's face.
Yan's mother didn't expect Chen Guoxing to do so much for Song Fuyu. Although Fuyu called him dad, they actually had no blood relationship. It seemed that he really loved Fuyu as his own daughter, even more than other fathers in other families.
In today's environment, things like the bride price are usually discussed privately between the parents of both parties. It is not appropriate to talk about it openly to outsiders, and it is impossible to show it to the guests on the wedding day.
On the day before the wedding, all the money was handed over to the bride, Song Fuyu.
She had expected there to be quite a few, but she had not expected so many.
Of course, this money is not worth mentioning in later generations.
But now it is the 1970s, and we have just jumped from 1974 to 1975. This amount of money is equivalent to seven years' salary of an ordinary worker. It is incredible just to think about it.
"Mom, this...isn't it the right thing to do?"
"That's right~"
"We'll give the same amount of money to all four of you sisters-in-law. One thousand yuan of this is the resettlement fee your father gave you and Ziyuan."
"As for the rest, we, the elders, won't go out of our way to buy you anything else. Just keep the money and buy whatever you want."
Song Fuyu was quite happy that he could buy things by himself.
She may not like what her elders buy for her, but in order to take their feelings into consideration, she has to smile and say she likes it even if she doesn’t like it.
So the decision now is a good one.
"Thank you, Mom~"
"You're welcome. It's a blessing for our Yan family that you can marry into our family."
"Hurry up and get some rest. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Tonight Song Fuyu slept alone in the room next to Grandpa Yan and the others. Yan Ziyuan was forcibly taken back to the house next door by Yan's mother. He will come to pick her up from next door tomorrow.
Even though they had obtained their marriage certificate a long time ago and had already been husband and wife, Song Fuyu still felt inexplicably nervous. After all, getting a marriage certificate and holding a wedding had completely different feelings.
She once imagined what her wedding scene would be like, but all her fantasies were shattered by the sudden time travel.
In this era, there are no wedding dresses or wedding plans. There are only two loving hearts and two people in love moving closer to each other.
In order to prevent myself from being unable to sleep at night due to excessive thoughts, which would make me feel bad the next day, I made half a cup of milk in my space to help me sleep.
After drinking the milk, I lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling above my head, but I still couldn't sleep.
Just when she thought she was going to suffer from insomnia, she began to fall asleep in a daze.
That night, Song Fuyu had a dream all night.
She dreamed of the scene where Song Yuzhu rushed towards her madly, and her blood was gradually draining away...Song Yuzhu did not save her, but chose to flee the scene.
Of course, since she chose murder, how could he possibly save her?
After Song Yuzhu bumped into her, she also tried to enter the space to save herself, but as a large amount of blood left her body, she seemed to suddenly lose control of the space.
Although I can still clearly feel the presence of the lotus mark on my chest, my body cannot enter the space. Perhaps this is why my parents did not enter the space in time after the car accident.
As to why this happened, she still hasn't found the answer.
As the body gradually grew colder, the soul had already left the body.
Her soul floated in the air, watching the subsequent developments.
